I -CALL FOR PAPER- 2 nd INTERNATIONAL WAQF INSTITUTION SYMPOSIUM THEME: “WAQF AND ALLEVIATING POVERTY” July 13-14, 2019 Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University Istanbul - Turkey Introduction Poverty refers to the lack of opportunity to improve one’s standard of living. Poverty has not only economic consequences but also social consequences. For this reason, the fight against poverty is done not only in the economic dimension but also in the social dimension. One of the institutions that can make this bidirectional fight against poverty is the waqf institution. The waqfs stands as a third sector in addition to the public and the private sector. Thanks to the waqfs, many public services are provided by voluntary organizations. In this way, the public burden is decreasing. On the other hand, social solidarity is increasing. The waqfs have a role in the preservation of social structure due to having a solidarity base. On the basis of this solidarity, there is also alleviating poverty.
